Shopping with your new baby is going to be a whole new experience and you should know what you are in for before attempting it.
One thing you can do if you are still pregnant and haven't started trying things like this yet is watch other moms when you are out.
You will see lots of moms with kids, but very few moms with newborns.
Having a newborn is harder than having a couple kids with you that can walk and talk and get in and out of the car on their own.
If you watch other moms, you will see what gear they bring with them and multiple methods of transporting baby around.
Talking to other moms is very useful as well.
Something as simple as going shopping may not be on your list of things to ask about, but you will see that every simple thing you used to do solo is more complicated now.
It is not negative, it is just definitely a change.
At home, all us new moms need are our nursing bras and baby has everything else they need in their nursery.
They have a changing table loaded with all the goods and a nice crib to sleep in.
Newborns need little else besides breast milk, new diapers, and a warm, cozy place to sleep.
Going mobile with a newborn is a different story all together, but thankfully in this day and age there are products and gadgets for everything you can think of.
You will find that your baby's car seat is the best tool to have with you at all times.
Baby can be changed in there if need be, sleep in there and travel in there.
You will need your nursing covers now that you are in public.
Trust that baby will still want to eat just as often even though you are out.
You will find yourself having to nurse in the strangest of places, but you will get used to it faster than you think.
